Alison weir books in order

As a young child, I loved Enid Blyton, A. Milne, C. Lewis and Frances Hodgson Burnett. I got hooked overnight. I loved reading the work of historians, of course - Antonia Fraser was an inspiration. I devoured her biography of Mary, Queen of Scots. I work to office hours. I aim to be at my desk by 9. Usually I work on fiction in the mornings, writing five pages on Word, then break for lunch at 1.

From 2pm to 5pm, I work on non-fiction. I then exercise for 30 minutes, and may go back to work until 6pm, when we have supper. Evenings are free.
